NICE Thanks for adding feature request! Also I figured something that didn't sound generic. Anyone say a word with a number in front but your project deserves to stand out from all the generic start menu clones because your startmenu will actually do more than even some of the paid competitors like StartIsBack and Start10 which almost offer the most generic features - I believe you could honestly have the best startmenu projects I have seen yet.

" I believe you could honestly have the best startmenu projects I have seen yet."I just want to clarify that Splitwirez Is not the author of classic shell (Ivo Beltchev/Ivo Is the developer behind classic shell), just an active member using classic shell as inspiration for a really cool start menu (unless you just mean you like his skins too )

Assuming you mean the headers...those were already on my to-do list, I just figured this would be a good time to get them in. That having been said, I am open to suggestions, within reason.

...huh. Well if anyone can come up with a name that rolls off the tongue as smoothly as Start9, I'm all ears. Provided I can convince myself to actually do anything, that is.(I just have a really bad habit of getting really attached to things, k? ;-; )

>Power8>StartMenu8>Start10They're all named after the corresponding version of Windows...but there is no Windows 9 :>

Yeah, of course Classic Shell is Ivo's...sorry if that got mixed up, I thought that compliment was directed towards Start9 .-.Wait...which menu application was it directed at? .-.

True, as is the case with Start9...all I did was look at Microsoft's documentation for creating tiles for WinRT Apps and cross-reference that with the files I ripped from some of the stock Windows 8 Apps. Surprisingly, it's mostly just XML.That having been said, getting this working reliably could be tricky, as the XML files vary somewhat between Apps. I'm still optimistic about it, though.

Back on topic. Live tiles, that's awesome. Good work Splitwirez. =)

Thanks ^-^

Also...CALL RIGHT NOW AND YOU'LL RECEIVE THIS TILE SIDEBAR ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!1!!1!!111!!!! (Don't actually call me...you're all getting the Sidebar regardless and also HOW DID YOU GET MY PHONE NUMBER!??!)

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to play with your creation for a while, but I'll keep an eye on its development.[/quote[Understandable - it's still a far cry from being ready for daily use, lol

I don't remember if I've already asked you before, does it "only" changes the style of the start menu, or it's possible to modify the shape/position of the elements?

I'm not personally caught up on the project enough to elaborate. (since it has been 'recoded from scratch' twice since I have even used it )but back then there was some level of skinning support and this page:https://startnine.github.io/news.htmlseems to allude to the fact that skinning is core to the project (probably more-so than in classic shell, where most people are expected to just tweak the settings.. or use it for an old 'familiar' look)As for exactly how skinning will take place in start9's current iteration, I'm sure splitwirez can elaborate.Personally I imagine something akin to rainmeter, except built around the entire system UI, and not just desktop widgets

I'm asking, just because my intention is to eventually create the start menu I'm thinking of building, but, hoping Ivo could forgive me, I'm not comfortable with Resource Hacker and the way to build skins for Classic Shell.
